I got them from Aoto
After changin to HEL hoses, can feel that the brake pedal does not have the spongy feels anymore esp when brakin hard at fast speed. As this is a budget & cost-effective way of improvin the brake system, but if i hv the extra dough i would change the rotors and callipers too. . . :P

But if you wanted to change rotors and callipers I think its more worth to buy a complete set cause change 1 by 1 is not really cost effective? By the way, for the brake fluid, whats dot5.1 and dot4 do you know? whats the diff? Also does the shop change all of the brake fluid or top up only? Also is this SS brake hose meant for latio model or customize to fit? Sorry for being so loh soh...  :unsure:

ok bcoz at the moment i dun hv spare cash to change the entire brake system dat would cost 1k+ and bcoz if i were to change as a complete set, they would not have HEL hoses to go with their package, as i aimin at VTTR

For brake fluids wat i know is diff specs is meant for diff car usuage eg. street drivin, race use or extreme driving.

As for brake fluid change, they will drain out ur old fliuds & do a complete fluid change & bleedin for u...

SS hose i got no idea, I'm usin HEL brand & its custom to fit, another gd brand i recomend is Goodridge.
No prob dats wat forum is for... to share & to find out yeah :)

eh bro,

might as well you buy a subaru 4p front and modify in. a 4p will cost you ~ $500, modify and wack in, also almost same cost as you change rotors and calipers... and its 4P!
